Chinese food appetizers can be high in fat, such as fried wontons and egg rolls. Instead, try steamed dumplings. The vegetable dumplings are simply delicious. When ordering main entrees, look for items that are steamed, braised, roasted, simmered, or stir fried (ask for foods to be stir fried with little or no oil). Try vegetable-based dishes to further lower fat and calories. Many Chinese food restaurants now offer steamed traditional items such as chicken and broccoli, with varying sauces on the side.

Wood cook stoves have been used for hundreds of years. Before the advent of electricity, people cooked all of their food in wood cook stoves. Wood cook stoves are still used in many parts of the world, such as Central and South America. Some people still choose to use wood cook stoves to conserve energy or to get the great taste of food cooked over an open fire. Wood cook stoves are large, elaborately designed structures. They need to include room for the wood, so they are bigger than gas or electric stoves.

Fried rice is one of those lovely comforting foods that everyone in the world seems to like. No one is intimidated by fried rice. Somehow all these rogue ingredients have crept into restaurant versions over the years, such as corn, peas, ham and the like. I find the trick with fried rice is to keep it really simple and traditional – just some really fresh and fluffy eggs, onion, bacon or Chinese sausage, ginger and some spring onions.

A very pleasant culinary adventure is a Bulgarian appetizer made of cheese, honey and basil. It may sound strange but its taste is amazing. Usually a bit of garlic is added for those who like it. ‘Kiufte’ is a traditional meatball prepared from minced meat with local spices. In Bulgaria it is consumed as a main course with salad, chips, pickles or other garnish. It is prepared in a frying pan but it may also be cooked with sauce as stew or as a soup with pasta or potatoes.

East Africa looks out over the Indian ocean and there is a strong culinary bond between West Africa and India. Indeed, East Africa has long been a landing point for vessels engaged in the spice trade, from the Indians of 4000 and more years ago through the Romans, Arabs and European colonial powers. There is therefor a strong Indian influence in the cookery of West East Africa (especially Swahili traditions) and spice-favoured curries and pilaus. Bread is also more of a staple in the West African diet than it is in much of the remainder of Africa and you get many variations of pan-fried and flatbreads.

The Mediterranean diet has been identified as one of the best health diets for a longer life expectancy. Researchers have identified the menu of vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, beans, olive oil preparations and seafood and low consumption of poultry, eggs and red meat as the most suitable way to check diet and evade chronic diseases — especially heart diseases. In fact, it is the availability and right combination of these food products that has made the Mediterranean diet healthy and balanced.

A new type of all you can eat buffet has emerged in the last decade, and it’s not the desert bar. The organic buffet is becoming a popular place for health minded people to gather for food, and company. Many top health food grocers like Whole Foods, and Earth Fare, are testing out the concept to warm results. It seems that the mix of fresh organic foods in a casual setting has hit a chord with customers. Many customers seem to not only enjoy the organic buffet
on occasion, but rather weekly, or even daily.

Generally, producers who want to have their syrup certified kosher need to have their production process inspected every one or two weeks.

Many people are mystified by traditional Indian cooking and cuisines and a little somewhat confused with the varieties of curries and spices used . Some may even think the traditional Indian cooking is mostly about vegetarian dishes and curries. A distinction in Indian cooking is the absence of beef and pork due to religious factors, as cows are sacred to the Hindus and pork is prohibited in the Muslim diet. Indian cooking is however generally characterized by exact combination of spices and flavours and the cooking method generally is to saute and simmer the dishes or curries over low heat.

The process of preparing Cajun food is in no way hurried and involves a layering of flavors which allows each ingredient to maintain its own identity. The foundation of preparing authentic Cajun dishes like gumbo, sauce piquant and etouffee is the Cajun roux (pronounced ‘rue’). The typical Cajun roux is a blend of equal parts of flour and fat, cooked together in a heavy pot over high heat until a medium brown color is reached.
